SF does provide reports. E.g. go to http://sourceforge.net/tracker/reporting/?atid=105470&what=aging&span=52&period=week&group_id=5470 and see that recently we've gotten much better at closing bugs quickly, and that the last 6 weeks or so we've started to reduce the number of open bugs (after letting them slip since Dec 2001 :-). --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
